GAS-FIXTURE Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 24, 1908.

Patented July 13, 1909.

Serial No. 429,021.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILBUR E. OTSTOT, citizen of the United States,residing at Mishawaka, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in GasFixtures; and Ido declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to gas fixtures, and particularly to portablefixtures.

In the ordinary run of cheaply constructed houses dresser lights are notprovided, thus seriously inconveniencing occupants of these houses.

It is the object of my invention to avoid this difliculty and to providea device which can be cheaply manufactured and sold so as to be withinthe range of all classes.

WVith these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certainnovel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, aswill be more fully described and particularly pointed out in theappended claim.

In the drawings, Figure l is a diagrammatic illustration of theapplication of my device, Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in sectionof one of the fixtures.

Referring more especially to the drawings, 1 represents a stationarywall fixture and 2 and 3, portable fixtures which are )rovided with thedishcollars 4, through wiich the pipe 5, projects so as to connect withthe inlet pipe 6. These fixtures are provided with valves 7,intermediate the jet 8, and the collar I, and are connected with thepermanent fixture 1 by flexible tubes 9 and 10, which are attached tothe permanent fixture 1 by the usual goose neck 11. Each collar isprovided with an aperture 12, through which a nail or other fasteningdevice 14 may be passed. I do not wish to limit myself to this form ofsupport, as any suitable form may be resorted to. For instance, asuitable suction cap may be secured upon the back of the collar 4, so asto hold the fixtures securely upon the wall.

The tubes 9 and. 10 are connected together in any suitable manner. Themethod herein adopted being a three-way connection 13.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the inven tionwill be readily understood without requiring a more extendedexplanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion and the minor details ofconstruction may be resorted to without departing from the principle orsacrificing any of the advantages of this invention as defined in theappended claim.

Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent is In a device of the class described, the combinationwith a permanent fixture, of portable fixtures comprising hollow diskshaving inletand outlet openings, supply pipes lead ing into the disks,horizontal burner supporting pipes connected at their inner ends withthe supply pipes and passing through the outlet openings of the disks,athree-way connection connected with the supply pipe of one portablefixture, a flexible tube between one side of said connection and thepermanent fixture, a second flexible tube leading from the other side ofsaid connection to the supply pipe of the other portable fixture, andindependent inlet valves for the portable fixtures whereby the gassupply may be directed to either one or both of the same, the portablefixtures, three-way connection and flexible tubes forming a unitarystructure which may be removed from position as a whole, and theflexible tubes providing for the adjustment of the portable fixtures atdifferent heights.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

WILBUR E. OTSTOT.
